[Brewer14]

just talking about backnblack(inspirations) and about bon

So nothing about the new CD?

[Bon_Scottie]

well, i got a new amp, a 60 watt behringer and it rocks!but anyway, glad to be back. anyone hear ang&mal on the allan handelman show the other week?

Nice, what guitar you be playing?

[maddog87]

i have an 04 sg special faded with an angus/57 combo.

[maddog87]

So nothing about the new CD?

they might have but i fell asleep half way through the interveiw, so i didnt catch the last part of it. they were mostly talking about the history of the band

[maddog87]

bump

[maddog87]

i saw them on the howard stern movie last night

[Bon_Scottie]

Just bought live at donnington today on my trip to belgium.

[blue3]

How's belgium. I have that DVD, it's good.

[maddog87]

i dont have the donnington dvd.how long is it?

[maddog87]

does anyone have a song list?

[Drunken Viking]

Just go to their official site, I'm sure theyd have it.

[Bon_Scottie]

I'll sort out the song listings for you later, when I get home.

Its a huge performance, lasting at least two hours. Only thing that pisses me off is that they'll preform songs like "Heatseeker", and not some of the many great classics, like Long way, Riff Raff, Beating around the Bush, etc etc.

... Its the same with the stiff upper lip concert. Lets get some live Sin City, or Rocker.

[maddog87]

yeah, jewels was pretty good about all the classics

[Bon_Scottie]

yeah, jewels was pretty good about all the classics

Planning on going onto amazon and buying the Let There Be Rock VHS, and also a DVD called "ACDC - Bon Scott - The Early Years".

[maddog87]

.....wow,this thread is really dying..

[Drunken Viking]

Then don't bump it. Let the thread die.

[maddog87]

it will come back,it always does. some noob will come in after a week and say "OMG back in black is the coolest song ever!!" and that will start everybody up again. this thread is like a mole or a birthmark, you can never get rid of it and it wont go away

[Drunken Viking]

Then there is no need to bump it, is there.

[willay]

If I could only to buy 1 AC/DC DVD, what would you guys suggest? help please. thanks.

[classicrockman]

Don't know. I have 'Family Jewels' and think it's great, but I don't have 'Live at Donnington' to compare it to.

[maddog87]

^^same here.ive heard its great, plus its all live, some of the jewels stuff was just dubbed over with the track :(

[Bon_Scottie]

Just wondering... but has anybody ever heard "Go Down"?

I know nearly every track by DC, but I'd never heard this before, until I found it on a friends mp3 player... she didnt know who it was. Its definatly Bon Scott, and definatly AC/DC... its THEIR sound.

Anybody know anything about the track?

[AB/CD]

as far as i remember its first song on the let there be rock album.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah its the first song on LTBR.

I'd get Donnington it's amazing (for the kid with the DVD question).

[AB/CD]

nah id get no bull far better just better stage and songs on it well not alot of other songs but still some good songs on it

[Drunken Viking]

Meh I think that No Bull has a worse performance.

[maddog87]

wow, i just found out that bon played the recorder in a band during his early years. big change!

[Drunken Viking]

You just watched VH1 didn't you. :lol:

[musicforlife]

I like AC/DC , and that is all that matters to me.

[Mechanix72]

AC/DC have one of the most riffy sounds, there hasn't been a song I've disliked. I really enjoy High Voltage, but TNT is still my favorite. Great band.

[AC/DC rock]

there aint no other band that sounds like em. plus no other band has a mental, headbanging, duckwalking schoolboy for a lead guitarist. angus may not be as skilled as guitarists like jimmy page and steve vai, but no other guitarist has that amount of energy. correct me if im wrong but did you know back in black has sold over 42 million records, making it the second biggest album ever? :evil: does anyone know where i can get a maestro vibrola from?

[JonG]

:lol:

Nobody wants to sound like 'em.

Having sold a lot of records doesn't automatically make it good.

Maestro's are a waste.

[Rattlehead]

:rolleyes: :lol:

[1]Nobody wants to sound like 'em.

[2]Having sold a lot of records doesn't automatically make it good.

[3]Maestro's are a waste.

1] if you don't want to sound like acdc in a band, thats fine. other people, however, do. and that has nothing to do with opinion. what band sounds like iron maiden? practically none... does that mean that no-one wants to see 'em?

2] oh right! so people buy it because they don't like it.... i see.

3] what are maestros? you mean orchestral leaders or something else?

back in black has only sold 19 mil., making it one of the 6th best selling albums ever.

[Drunken Viking]

19 million in the US maybe.

Wait a second, I thought internet forums were for opinions. My bad.

[AC/DC rock]

back in black has sold about 20 million in america, but over 40 million worldwide. a maestro tremolo is like a rubbish vibrato but it looksgood i want the tailpiece for one

[Drunken Viking]

Google or musicansfriend?

[janyeno]

ac/dc can be pretty bad *** sometimes...

I've been meaning to pick up one of their albums again...

[angusvsslash52]

Make up your mind and quit changing the figures, its not that hard to search the stats on the net.

[Drunken Viking]

WHat are you talking about, they have sold only 20 million in America, but over 40 million world wide.

[Rattlehead]

Wait a second, I thought internet forums were for opinions. My bad.
they are. but you can't really be "of the opinion" that no-one wants to sound like them. that statement is based on fact, in this case, fictional fact.

[AC/DC rock]

take a look at this drunken viking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_in_black

[Drunken Viking]

That's what I said, I said that BiB had sold over 40 million copies world wide just like that link said.


they are. but you can't really be "of the opinion" that no-one wants to sound like them. that statement is based on fact, in this case, fictional fact.
He obviously doesn't like them, so in his opinion noone would want to play like them because he and a lot of people think they suck. And because a band has sold over 40 million records doesn't make them good, it's all opinion, for every 40 million who like them I'm sure there are 40 million who don't.

[AC/DC rock]

oh right sorry.
angus rockz!

[maddog87]

newb^^ lol

[AC/DC rock]

why am i a newb? just coz angus rockz. i have been listening to them since i was 8. (i know other people are gonna start posting how long theve been listenin now)

[Rattlehead]

he said that no-one liked them, which isn't true.

but it doesn't matter.

[bodger]

ok i didnt know where to put this and i didnt want to start a new thread but i was wondering if anybody knows anything about this. A local newspaper has done a few articles on this and the most recent said that ac/dc was possibly helping to raise funds by holding a concert with rose tattoo and the angels along with some more recent bands like jet, wolfmother and the casanovas to get a statue errected near bon scotts grave as part of a memorial in fremantle. I know that the statue is going to happen but dunno about the concert. It is planned for the aniversary of his death next year. does anybody else know anything about this cos i am dying for more info on this. oh btw i live in perth so if the concert goes ahead it is a 30min train ride to fremantle oval where it should be held (close to the cemetary:thumb: ) \m/

[Shadows Within]

So you've only been listening to them for a year? thats why...

what is it with kids replacing S's with Z's these days?

AC/DC is a win-win for me my dad was a big fan of them so I can't really say anything bad about them but I can't really say anything good either...of course he also liked Styx, Forigner, Boston and Journey so its all good.

[lionelhutz88]

Boston's first album is a classic

[6stringed]

ha yeah
but u might be in
the wrong thread. tee he

[6stringed]

Has anybody seen the movie "Thunderstruck"
I liked it

[hard_rocker89]

Hate to dig out a thread about a band that no one oddly doesn't like anymore. Anyway...has anyone heard any news about another album or world tour, which was suppose to happen back in '05? :p

I did hear on the radio that lead guitarist, Angus Young, said their next will be their last because Brian's voice basically sounds like he swallowed a frog. I'd still like to see them live though. Even at the age they're at, they've still gotten high concert rates. Still basically one of the best LIVE bands out there :thumb:

[RNR]

It always did and we always loved it. I don't see a problem here.

I've really been digging the album Let There be Rock lately. Such fantastic lyrics.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If they retire before I see them live I will be pissed.

Also, just make a new thread next time, that promotes more discussion.

[hard_rocker89]

I've always liked his throat-boarsting lyrics too!:thumb: What Angus means though is that it supposedly is gettin' a bit worse. Though he did perform recently himself and sounded pretty good!

Right now I really like Powerage and If You Want Blood (You've Got It!). Would've loved to see them live with Bon (R.I.P.)
